Attention residents of North Miami: Would you like to learn how to prevent your home from going into foreclosure? Your esteemed mayor, Andre Pierre, would like to teach you how to avoid the pain and mounting legal costs of fighting a bank trying to take away your home, so he's presenting a seminar on the subject next Wednesday.

A city spokeswoman didn't return a call or an email from Riptide about the flier; Pierre also hasn't responded to an email. If we hear back we'll update the post.

Update: North Miami spokeswoman Pam Soloman has confirmed the workshop is legit, but declines to comment on whether Pierre's the right guy to be the face of foreclosure prevention in North Miami. Here's her statement:

Yes, this workshop is taking place on Wednesday. The Mayor, as well as other council members, have hosted such meetings in the past, bringing together tools and resources for the community affected by the downturn in the economy, job loss, etc. Meetings on foreclosure assistance, housing programs, home energy savings, etc. have been held in the past and will continue to be done as long as there is a need in the community.
